Interesting SHRIMP

What are some hard-to-get, not-seen-very-often shrimp that are awesome? If you have pics, please post!

I don't have pics, but there are a few species of periclemines shrimp, one is called a hovering shrimp another is a pepperoni shrimp.

There is a deepwater cave cleaner.

And while not a shrimp, Maldives squat lobster is cool.

The deepwater cave cleaner is an interesting shrimp

I had a Purple Coral Banded Shrimp that looked pretty cool. The only problem was that I only saw it a handful of times in the middle of the night. Very secretive little shrimp!

Emperor shrimp!

Not so rare but I would suggest an anemone shrimp. They are clear with white or pink spots. Will stay out in the open in their anemone so you can watch and even feed them. As with most shrimp try to get a small one as most have a short life span.

One of the few times it was out in the middle of the night.

What kind of shrimp is that?

Some people call it a Donald Duck shrimp.

Leander plumosus
